From tap at Beiaard. Pours cloudy orange with a small, off-white and dense creamy head. Roasted malt and yeasty aroma. Sweet caramel malty flavoured.

3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught (Beiaard, Amsterdam)
Hazy orange-red, small tight head. Sweet strong beer aroma, a bit of spice too, and a touch of alcohol. Soft sweet sticky palate - danger! Huge full-bodied taste - different components in good balance: big malt, spicy, and decent hops. Alas a bit alcoholic, as the palate warned us.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
7th February 2011
On Tap at the Bekeerde Suster, Amsterdam. This batch coming in at 9.0% abv. Clear amber beer with a good sized off white head. Palate is softish but also manages to have a carbonated bite. Creamy malt, rich but never getting heavy. Mellow cherry stars here. Really has a nice mouthfeel all round and it hides the 9.0% very very well. Hugely drinkable. One of my (normally lager swilling) work mates said he could drink ten pints of it!
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap@WinterbierFestival09. Vanilla aroma. Orange color, yellowish head, good lace. Sweet, raisin, vanilla, pretty bitter. Bit thinnish. Ok but not exceptional.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On draft at Beiaard. Amber body with tan head. Cheesy and malty nose. Taste of caramel, spices and pretty sweet. Quite strong but masked well.

3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap @ the brewpub. Slightly hazy amber body with a small and dense off-white head. Quite light malty aroma with a hint of gentle roasted caramel. Flavor is malty, light caramel and a funky bitterness with some fruit. A nice and decent ale. Some strange flavors here could be the hops or the spices. Medium body and almost hidden alcohol.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: FEB 6, 2009 On tap at WBF ’09 Gouda and at De Bekeerde Suster, both as Beiaard’s Winterbier, ABV 8.5%. Hazy dark amber beer, off-white head. Aroma of caramel and fruits with a hint of spices. Flavour is also caramel, a little fruits, a bit of spice. Not overly sweet with a slightly bitter finish. Soft mouthfeel. A winterbeer for the masses. OK.
